EDIT:This is the newest versions of Links, there is a problem with versions 2.6 and older so if you want to delete the old version the Puppy Package Manager will do that.

Warning Links older than 2.7pre1 contains some bugs that can result in writing out of allocated memory if Links is running in graphics mode. This can be potentially exploited to attack the computer. If you use graphics mode you should upgrade to Links 2.7pre1.

Links is the only lightweight browser that I have found that will connect to Gmail. Often my internet connection is sketchy due to heavy traffic (8:00am-12:00pm). I live in a very rural area and connect through a radio broadcast system. When Opera or Firefox won't connect to Gmail, Links will.

I have prepared two menu entries for Links, one which takes me direct to Gmail html service and the other to Gmail mobile service. The second one will usually get through if there is any connection at all.

Just in case anyone else shares this kind of problem I am attaching a .pet with the two menu entries.

According to the instructions page above
the program is supposed to use the current folder
as the default.

Have you tried

Code:

cd /root
links forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.php?

then it would do downloads to /root presumably.

I made a linksdownload folder in /mnt/home, then I opened the terminal navigated to /mnt/home/linksdownload and did links -g, I did a couple of test downloads and that's where they ended up.
So I guess to control where the downloads go you need to open the terminal,navigate to your downloads folder, and start links from the terminal, don't use the icon in the puppy menu or downloads will default to the root. directory.
